Astma: epidemiologie, behandeling en exacerbaties in de praktijk
The objectives of our research were the following:
• To generate and evaluate automated case detection algorithms to identify children with asthma
• To describe the epidemiology and time trends of asthma in children
• To describe the incidence and risk factors of severe asthma exacerbations in children
• To describe overall mortality and mortality following asthma exacerbations in patients with asthma
• To describe the prescription/dispensing patterns and adherence of asthma controller therapy in children with asthma
• To examine dispensing patterns of brand and generic controller therapy and whether switching between brand and generic controller therapy influences adherence
• To study the association of switching between generic and brand inhalation medication and the risk of asthma exacerbations
